I did, last night, which accounts for Eric not having it heard before. All serious stuff requires an acronym (e.g. BCH, RS, CRC, TCM, CC, not to mention FIR, IIR, FFT etc), else people dismiss it as unimportant and don't pay attention. For example, rake receivers were invented in the early 1950s, but were ignored until someone thought to re-name them as RAKE receivers, and now everyone uses them.... For what it's worth, RAKE stands for Recursive and Adaptive Kernel Estimation, heh, heh. --Dilip Sarwate

A RAKE receiver is a piece of electronics. A rake receiver is a keen gardener at Christmas. Steve

According to the great oracle Google, the Gospel according to St Wikipedia says it's a rake receiver while the Gospel according to St MATLAB calls it a RAKE receiver. In this instance, I think God wants us to not rely on literal interpretations of the written Word but to think for ourselves. My belief is that when implemented in the time domain, it is a rake receiver, while when implemented in the frequency domain or MATLAB, it is a RAKE receiver. After all, everyone knows the Fourier transform of x(t) is X(f), and not the other way around, right? So, the time domain implementation is a rake receiver, the frequency domain implementation is a RAKE receiver and hybrid implementations are rAkE receivers, or more commonly, Rake receivers. Steveu's grateful gardeners at Christmas time are on their own in this theory... --Dilip Sarwate President, AMBIT Corporation AMBIT = Acronym May Be Ignored Totally
